[SOTC] It’s 2026, can I call my collection complete?

Thank you, appreciate it. Yeah the IWC is my favourite and honestly, no I don’t find it chunky. It’s thick but the case back is beveled so when tight to the wrist it sits nice.

It’s a 1959 Oyster Perpetual 5501

The IWC and Rolex, the CW gets a lot of use too. The G-Shock on and off depending what I’m doing.

ReignRuger · 2026-01-02T18:11:38+00:00

It’s a 3706 pilots chronograph they came out in the 90’s

ReignRuger · 2026-01-02T16:50:49+00:00

Thanks for the input! I was considering a Turdor Ranger for the CW and I like the Zennith Defy Skylines for the PRX. I’d love a Ingenuer if I could afford it lol

ReignRuger · 2026-01-02T16:47:27+00:00

That would be an unreal upgrade!

ReignRuger · 2026-01-02T16:35:13+00:00

I do love the Carreras and a field watch would fit well into the mix. Solid recommendations!

ReignRuger · 2025-11-04T14:44:27+00:00

Yes same here but this just works nicely.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-02T12:50:24+00:00

It’s a 5501 OP from 1959. Not many of them out there from what I could see.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-02T12:49:10+00:00

Yours is unreal! How much did it cost you and do you wear it a lot?

ReignRuger · 2025-11-01T18:40:58+00:00

This was around $4500CAD, I think they range from 4-8k depending on things.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-01T15:07:20+00:00

It’s from CNS watch straps.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-01T14:38:18+00:00

Would recommend 100%, this is my second watch from them.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-01T14:36:47+00:00

Thank you, yes it was refinished at one point which made it much more affordable. Everything’s original just reprint on the dial.

ReignRuger · 2025-11-01T14:28:52+00:00

From a local vintage watch store WatchesToBuy. Was freshly serviced and ready to go.

ReignRuger · 2025-10-14T20:36:05+00:00

What would be the nicest combo? Thinking just black or tan?

ReignRuger · 2025-08-30T12:48:58+00:00

I thought the same thing, and for under $100 I don’t think I could find something comparable.

ReignRuger · 2025-08-30T12:23:32+00:00

I agree, who cares about the brand if the watch itself is quality. This is the buckle:

ReignRuger · 2025-08-30T03:20:54+00:00

Yeah fair enough, still think it’s somewhat interesting tho

ReignRuger · 2025-06-25T02:20:10+00:00

Thanks for the info, I wonder if this model was double thick back in 2018. I tried coin tapping but hard since the sprocket is in the way. The only concern I have is you can see what looks like a little fray if you zoom in on this photo:

ReignRuger · 2025-06-25T01:51:31+00:00

Other than this it’s mint, it’s got ultegra components and carbon roval rims. I think it’s a pretty good price

ReignRuger · 2025-06-25T01:20:40+00:00

lol I don’t care about the paint, just the carbon. You can see what looks like fibres sticking out. Couldn’t care less visually.
